Down On the Corner
John Fogerty / Creedence Clearwater Revival: Willy and the Poor Boys (1969)
| C | G | C |
| Early in the evenin' | just about supper | time, |
| G | C |
| over by the courthouse, they're | starting to un | wind, |
| F | C |
| four kids on the corner, | trying to bring you up, |
| G | C |
| Willy picks a tune out and he | blows it on the | harp. |
| F | C | G | C |
| Down on the | corner, | out in the | street, |
| F | C | G | C |
| Willy and the | Poorboys are | playin' bring a | nickel, tap your | feet. |
| Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile, | |
| Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile. | |
| Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo. | |
| And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo. | |
| Down on the corner, out in the street, | |
| Willy and the Poorboys are playin' bring a nickel, tap your feet. | |
| You don't need a penny just to hang around, | |
| but if you got a nickel won't you lay your money down. | |
| Over on the corner, there's a happy noise, | |
| people come from all around to watch the magic boy. | |
| Down on the corner, out in the street, | |
| Willy and the Poorboys are playin' bring a nickel, tap your feet. | |
